I've updated my page, so why is my browser still displaying the old version?

Information Technology Services
Note: These instructions apply only to Netscape, because this problem seems to be common with that package. If you have this problem with another browser, you may be able to use the following information in a modified form. The usual method of updating the display is to hit the "Reload" button. However, some versions of Netscape seem to have a problem determining when a page has changed. This problem is related to Netscape's "cache" feature. First try this.

Do I need to uninstall my old version first?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
It is always recommended to uninstall old versions first. However, it is not a requirement. If there only have been a few small changes between your old and the new version, then you can just install the new version on top of the old version. That should work fine, without any problems. If there have been major changes, then the installer will automatically prompt you that you should uninstall first.

edit] How do I rename a page and all (some) of the links to it?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
Pages may be renamed by any logged-in user, in the standard configuration. Using the "move" tab (in monobook skin) a user may enter a new name for a page. A radio-box will allow the talk page to be moved simultaneously to the new talk page. This will also create a redirect to the new name at the old page name. It's important to check the [[Special:Whatlinkshere]] at the new page name to check for broken redirects and links.

Yes, as long as the major version hasn't changed (first digit of version number). The Licence information are preserved. The favourites and wishlist are lost, although. This can be prevented by backing up the "rtdb" file in the Radiotracker list and copying it back after the installation.

edit] How do I delete a user from my list of users?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
MediaWiki does not support the deletion of user accounts. To prevent an account from being used, either scramble the password or set up an indefinite block on the account. Do not remove users from the user table in the mySQL database; this causes problems with other parts of the wiki due to the relational structure of the database.
